The Truth About Identity Risk and What Companies Are Missing

Send a textIn this episode of Secure Insights, we speak with Ian Forrest, VP of Solutions Architecture and Sales Engineering at Andromeda Security, and Ashish Shah, Andromeda Security’s Co-Founder. They unpack why identity has become the new security perimeter, the challenges organisations face with growing permission sprawl, and why manual processes no longer meet the demands of modern cloud environments. Ian and Ashish explain how context, behavioural patterns, and risk signals can strengthen identity protection, offering practical steps businesses can take to reduce exposure without slowing innovation.Drawing on their backgrounds as serial entrepreneurs and leaders in cloud infrastructure, security, and networking, they share lessons from building security programmes, scaling teams, and developing technology. The conversation goes beyond tools and platforms, touching on leadership, culture, and the mindset organisations need as identity becomes one of the most critical pillars of enterprise security.
